**Ingredients:**

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup boiling water

For the icing:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 3 cups powdered sugar
– 1/3 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

**Instructions:**

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.

4. Stir in the boiling water, the batter will be thin, but don’t worry, it’s supposed to be that way.

5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth.

9. Add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Beat until the icing is smooth and spreadable. You may need to adjust the consistency with more powdered sugar or milk as needed.

10. Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of icing on top.

11. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing.

12. For a decorative touch, you can garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries.
